I've built a few of these kits myself and the dragon/CH offerings are the best tiger kits on the market i'd also go as far to say that the early dragon and CH kits were some of the best 1/35 kits ever made.I will be looking forward to seeing the Fehrmann kit blogged will you be using the cyber hobby kit

Hi John; I suspect there may be some overlap, but they will be piece by piece. I am aiming to complete by the end of 2010; after all Tigers don't have Schurzen...do they? He he...I'll try not to hit any Tigers on their bottoms during the blog.

Dan; I have the Aber Pz III turret bin, but might use that for a Panzer III. With the mirror tracks I was thinking of doing a turretless 6252; waddaya think? Your lucky day; I have 2x6252 to build - the latter will be beefed up somewhat (Andy; I hope your offer of those hull sides still stands ). thanks for the link Dan - I suspect I will be using it a lot for reference. BTW the other book that I am using is Achtung Panzer (?5)- the Japanese Tiger reference book. Utterly ace! Dan; if you are keen I might have a go at soldering the Pz III turret bin if it is compatible with the mirror tracks and Abt 502 in Autumn 1942. ?

Tony; great. Like I said; any advice would be appreciated along the way.

Pvt Farnham; stand at ease there, son. We've a long ways to go yet.

Hello Neil! Yes; I have TWO duplicates on this thread - the 6252 (initial and late junk-hybrid) and CH Fehrmann; to be built as Fehrmann with Voyager 127 PE set or Lion Roar PE set for 'early' and CH Fehrmann to be backdated to 'Classic Early' with (wait for it):
